In case of a fire
In the event of a fire, do the following:
•
Leave immediately. Don't stop to pack or search for
valuables.
•
In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if
necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor.
•
If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the
door and doorknob to see if undue heat is present. If they
seem cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the door
with your hip against the door and one hand against the
top edge. Open it slightly. If you feel a rush of hot air, slam
the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire tends to build
up considerable pressure. Be sure all members of the
household realize and understand this danger.
•
Use your neighbour's phone or a street fire alarm box to
call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire
should be left to the professionals.
Be prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in
the event of a fire:
•
Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure
recognition of an alarm signal.
•
Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is
important that children be instructed carefully, because
they tend to hide in times of crisis.
•
Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that
everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate
the tragedy of someone re-entering the house for a
missing member who is actually safe.
•
If you have children or physically challenged people
residing in your household, use window decals to help
emergency personnel identify the sleeping quarters of
these individuals
False alarms
Smoke / heat detectors are designed to minimise false alarms.
Cigarette smoke will not normally set off an alarm, unless the
smoke is blown directly into the device's sensor.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the device if the
alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of
combustible particles are generated from spills or when
broiling.
Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-
recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible
products from the kitchen. If the device does sound, check for
fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire
department.
If no fire is present, check to establish may have caused the
alarm. Check the area of the device, only when certain that it is
safe to do so and check that the device's sensitivity selection is
appropriate for its environment.
Additional information
The points below must also be followed:
•
DO NOT paint the device, as this can cause contamination
of the sensor.
P/N MK256-ML • REV F • ISS 04FEB22
•
Ensure that detectors are kept accessible and that there is
clear space around all devices.
•
The operation of devices should be checked upon the
reoccupation of premises after vacation, etc.
For details on the connected alarm panel's smoke / heat alarm
capacities, refer to the alarm panel product guides for details.
